"Nothing is more dangerous than religion in politics and government when it becomes divisive," he said. "I'll give you examples: Iraq. Northern Ireland. Palestine."

You don't need religion to be divisive: the most secular political movements of the past few centuries were highly divided and spilled a lot of blood to get their party into power. The reds vs. the whites in Russia, The French Revolution had so many factions its hard to recall. Danforth apparently deserves to have lost his seat in the senate.

As long as Christians have the courage of their convictions; recognize the enemy as the secular left; avoid infighting until we've won the other battles and listen rather than dismiss legitimate criticism, then we will prevail. If God is for us, who can be against us?

Deus vult.

Excellent point. Christians have done plenty that resembles the same thing we see on both sides of the political spectrum. If we're who we say we are, there should be a difference.
